Integrated Circuit For Implementing High-Voltage Ultrasound Functions

摘要

An integrated SOI circuit is provided for implementing high-voltage ultrasound functions of an ultrasound imaging system. The integrated circuit is packaged as an integrated chip. The integrated circuit is composed of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology and integrates at least the following high-voltage ultrasound functions: gatedriver, power amplifier, transmit/receive switch. Optionally the integrated chip may contain a low noise amplifier and an analog multiplexer.
